Introducing HipChat for Android

By Chris Rivers | 9 months ago | 5 Comments |

Today we’re announcing the release of our native Android app. A big thanks goes out our beta testers and customers who have been waiting patiently and not-so-patiently. The app is free and available in the Android Market. Note to all beta testers: Uninstall the current app before installing the real version.


The app has everything you’d expect:

  • Group chat and 1-to-1 messaging
  • Inline previews for images, Twitter, and YouTube, etc.
  • Receive push notifications for 1-to-1 chats, room invites, and when you’re mentioned in a room
  • A launch icon that follows Google’s strict guidelines despite the fact that most of their own icons do not.

If you have any bugs or feedback please contact us.

We also added a new emoticon: (android) . Happy chatting!

    You need at least android 2.2. I assume you are running an older version?

    The company I’m working for uses hipchat. I would like to use the mobile app without rooting my phone (and voiding warranty) to install a more recent Android. I am using 2.1 as I’m sure many users do. Thank you.
